Pretty standard '89 show, kinda hollow sound; may be the venue

I WISH I WAS A HEADLIGHT....Boom Boom Boom Monster Bass .... ON A NORTHBOUND TRAIN!

This recording is just outstanding. Thanks Dan! And the show...well, I have to give it my highest rating becasue you can feel it in your soul!! Brent and Jerry were just on fire. I miss them both sooooo much, but at least I have this.

This is a definite soundboard. No doubt. Healy was doing some sick matrix recordings at the time, and this is proof of that fact. If you want to compare, a phenomenal audience recording is here on archive of the next night, with a purly raging scarlet>fire. It's said that garcia jumps a 360 during the Fire on the Mountain that night.

...doesn't mean it isn't a SoundBoard! It's obviously a mix. No way this is a pure audience recording. It's a Board with audience mixed in. Starts out with a hiss, but it goes away, and I found this a good listen. Terrapin rocks.

A pretty good show based on my listen to the first few songs in the first set (so far), but this is definitely not a soundboard -- the crowd noise is right up front and resolves into individual voices, and it has that flanged/compressed sound that you get with not-terribly-good mikes. There's also a lot of wow & flutter that gives it that underwater, slightly off-key sound that those of us who traded tapes of mid 70's shows remember so dearly. Finally, the levels are all out of whack...there must have been a generation that was recorded on old or cheap tape.
It would be great to have a real board thrown up here -- the playing is tight and high-energy. Sounds like the boys were really on that night....

There was no Terrapin on 1/7/79, MSG..
Other than that a good show.. pocky, rider -> terrapin...during the Northbound Train part, Phil drops some things....

i like the night before a lil better but thats just personal preference this is a great show as said before the pocky way its blazin

First 1/2 of second set amazing example of what the Dead with Brent could do in their prime. Hey Pocky Way is so tight, so high energy. What a run of shows at such a great time for the Dead, at such a special venue. For those who were there those years, Red Lion!

Pretty solid show all around. While the Playin'->Rider is noteworthy for the novelty factor, the real standout tune is the Terrapin. Along with 1/7/79, this is probably the sickest version of the song I've heard.

Shared a grilled cheese sandwich with Bill Walton. Weir was on! Positive vibes all around the joint. Gimme some more of that San Anselmo Overwelmo!

the day was hot, i saw bill graham on his moto bike cruisin, that night was like an explosion of music, the hey pocky>playin > rider is magnificent,definitely the highlight, but weir struts his stuff in the throwin stones with sine really cool licks if you listen carefully towards the end, great recording, not the best but very good
